Property owners to be allowed into Misquamicut Saturday afternoon

Westerly - Property owners and their contractors will be allowed into the Misquamicut Beach community at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Atlantic Avenue from the intersection of Winnapaug Road to 459 Atlantic Ave. will still be restricted, the town announced Friday afternoon.

Those entering the area must have a re-entry pass, available at the Westerly Chamber of Commerce from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Limited numbers of people were allowed into the storm-ravaged shoreline community earlier this week.

The town asks property owners to avoid putting sand in right of ways. Beginning on Sunday, property owners will be allowed to haul sand to the Misquamicut State Beach parking lot for disposal.
